Wow Kize that was amazing. As a bluebelt I'm still a beginner in the sport, but I can see how you have a natural talent for the craft. You instinctively know in what direction to flail your limbs... that will turn into controlled movement over time and it feels incredibly empowering. You'd have a bright future in this gentle martial art. As others have commented before me, I sincerely do hope you'll find your way onto the tatami again. Oss

Do Guitar learning next

This was SO fun to watch. Your cardio is incredible. I've been doing it for awhile, I could not take on the test you went through at the end. that was VERY impressive!!!

Hope you stick with it next do disc golf

You should keep at it.

Hi Huh, I am also obese and currently trying to get more lean and build a better physique. That’s why I am considering taking bjj classes now. How much is the impact of bjj in getting a better body shape for you?

I started training about 4 months ago and I'm hooked, I was in the worst shape of my life when I started, had been having foot issues from Plantar Fasciatis, I am a 35 year old male that was 195 lbs. I'm now feeling like I'm in better shape then I was when I was 25 and 155 lbs. I don't really know if there is a better cardio workout than rolling (sparring) in bjj. It also is so core intensive that I've really noticed my gut disappearing. I have not lost a ton of weight in the process, only about 8 lbs so far, but definitely puton a bit of muscle. I've always had a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym, but I don't have that problem with Jui Jitsui. It actually has been pushing me to actually want to go to the gym on off days to better my time at Jui Jitsui. But The best part for me is that my feet almost completely quit hurting. I used to come home from work and literally want to do nothing but put my feet up. Starting my journey was not been easy, especially the first couple months, but it's helped me get my life back again. I was really not doing well mentally after a couple years with the covid pandemic and how much my body was just hurting all the time, I can say bjj has quite possibly saved my life.

Super happy to hear about out of shape people get into this sport, HAVE FUN, and get back toward a healthier lifestyle. Hopefully you’re all still with it. The first few months are tough but as you learn and gain some strength, it becomes even more fun.. Least I think so 😄

@@elturko58 DO IT!!! It truly is soo fun and an amazing self defense mechanism. You should try it out.

Keep at it. For me it wasn't just obesity but also some old injuries. I've lost nearly 40# in almost 8 months. I recently upped my training regimen from two days off per week to one. I'm not rolling the whole duration but it's closer now than it was previously. It's a long slow process but it pays dividends. I had abdominal surgery last year and my core's not back yet but it's close. My knees hurt sometimes from a fall I took more than 10 years ago, and I'm the slowest runner and the worst lateral mover there. I had a repetitive-motion injury a while back, and I've had broken bones and sprains. I just hit 50. All that's meaningless, except that I still have to modify sometimes during warm-ups and drills, which are for me the hardest part of the class. What isn't meaningless, is I can now do a lot of stuff I used to be able to do, and I expect it will get better and easier if I keep with it. My clothes fit looser and I've had to donate some. __ Another note, as people have said, and the video also, it's different than you think. I took judo as a kid, and I wrestled in HS. I did TKD in college, I used to lift weights hardcore, and I picked up a few tricks here and there from friends and co-workers. I'm 6'4" and currently hovering around the 310# mark. Nobody wants to roll with the big strong guy who's a beginner, except for blue belts and above, and the occasional white belt who's got comparable size and strength. First time I rolled with a black belt, I didn't expect to WIN, but I thought I might at least give an OK fight. Didn't happen. Message given and received. I purchased a black gi after that. Easier to not show blood. I don't know your relative fitness, but you can expect some bruises and blood, and to feel whatever issues you have...just keep going and things will get better. You'll get hurt, just don't let it stop you. One thing about being a beginner is you tend to go all-out; I don't know enough yet to go slower or sometimes lighter. Which is one reason nobody wants to roll with the big guy. Nearly every obese person I ever knew, including myself, was a lot stronger than average, and we're usually no more prone than others to WANT to hurt others, but when you've got more size and mass, it can happen by accident easier than it does with a smaller individual (and the very small ones are the other ones people are reluctant to roll with...the why should be obvious here as well).

I was thinking the same thing!!!! Really proud of her work!!! I subscribed just because of that wholesomeness!!!

This a joke and pointless

Wow, it's great to see this comment from a well established BJJ organization that has been on KZfaq since the very early days of KZfaq in May 2006! BJJ is a great sport that teaches self defense and respect for others. I hope Kize continues to train and starts competing soon!

Thanks Jason! Appreciate it👊

We all know that your mcdojo bullshido wouldn't save you on the streets. It's only giving you fake sense of security just as chi no touch bollocks arts. Face the reality boy.

Natural progression to round out your training! Interesting to see how BJJ will combine your skills.

Did u start? =))) i know its been only 4 days =))

@@cristianmartanov4736 Starting next week!

I might do BJJ on top of my Judo. The club I'm at has high level BJJ players as well

@@Staroy good luck brother. 1st few months u dont understand shit

Hi Kona, I am currently trying to get more lean and build a better physique. That’s why I am considering taking bjj classes now. How much is the impact of bjj in getting a better body shape for you? Looking forward to your answer. Best regards

Art my ass . LOL .

@@elturko58 I would say BJJ does a lot of aerobic exercises because you are using your entire body. It’s like doing a lot of cardio work and you’ll definitely drop weight and put on a bit of muscle but not as much though. But it’ll definitely get you in losing weight shape. If you want to build muscle and or get lean then you will have to hit the gym and lift weights ect. Best luck to you in stepping into BJJ man! 👍👍

@@johndecker7881 You think your ass is art? Damn, that's alot of confidence you got for a pair of cheeks.

@@johndecker7881 it literally is art though😂

Awesome that you’ve stuck with it for so long. How often a week do you train?

I’m about to start this week because of recent trauma as well. We got this!

Keep on going and courage will follow 🤙🤙🤙I really started to roll on my 4th month and only after I found my bjj tribe outside of US. Keep on going that's the key 🗝️ No matter where you are ☺️ You can even get a dummy (I travelled with it) to help you practice at the beginning as it helps with muscle memory at least for me it did.

How is your jits journey going? I hope your still as it as it's a real struggle for the first few months.

Never be scared to roll. You will lose. You will be put in uncomfortable situations. However the only way to put together what you learn is to roll. Diamond's are formed under pressure. So embrace the pressure. Do not run from it! Good luck on your journey!

Do it! You'll be surprised.

I know this was months ago but I just started 2 weeks ago! 1 class was more judo and other was no gi fundamentals. The thing I already love the most is the people, the community. At the time I started my "fundamentals" they were still further along from day 1... so I just jumped in but everyone respected my pace or if I needed to rest and gather myself etc... everyone WANTS people to be there and it's a great thing!

I did it for the first time in the beginning of this week and now this evening and I’m looking for extra motivation bc I feel like a fish out of the water and sparring was so scary and I didn’t remember any techniques 😓 pls wish me luck 🙂

Yea, I would say damn near unbelievable. Clearly she had more than 30 days of experience.

@@shyfly6560 definitely does look that way!

Hello blue belt friend!!

@@shyfly6560 Clearly not. Did you forget her day 1 shrimps? She put in a LOT of work in that time.

Ooo indoor climbings a great idea

Kize probably does a lot of cardio with calisthenics that helped her mobility in these 30 days challenge and that's probably why she adapted so well.

"I do not know the first thing about jiu-jitsu" ..proceeds to explain jiu-jitsu better than the average blue belt would.

Thanks Oliver! Indoor climbing would be a real challenge. I'm still working on my upper body strength.

@@joshwilkins4997 Did a lot of research. Didn't even know there was such thing as gi / no gi until I started😅

Karate. Lol

@@Looking-great What's wrong with Karate?

@@Maya_hee 🤣

@@Maya_hee nothing wrong with Karate . It’s just an inside joke on youtube by misinformed people. Some of the greatest UFC fighters like GSP and Lyoto Machida have backgrounds in Karate. Tiffany Van Soest, current women’s Glory Champion, all has a background in Karate.

Did you ever work up the courage to take a trial class?

Totally understandable! Especially given how close-contact jj is. Don't force yourself to do it, the time will come. When you want to, you'll go! Or take a friend with you! That way they'll most likely be your drilling partner.

Bjj turned into my anxiety release. Take a breath and try the trial class. I've been training for 1.5 yr now and I can't imagine my life without it

Thanks for all your tips Sarah! You made it fun😊

Recommend jiu jitsu. Tkd isn’t that practical in my experience

just finished watching the video, wow increadible how good u got in 30 days ! great work.. OSS
